    It's a gimmick. Hopefully you can return it.

    Shake Weight Pros and Cons

    Pros:
    ■Shake Weight are affordable at $19.95 a piece ($29.95 for the men’s version).
    ■They’re easy to use and carry with you
    ■I have no doubt that the Shake Weight does stimulate the arms muscles
    ■Has a money back guarantee

    Cons:
    ■I find it hard to believe that this device gives longer muscles than regular weight lifting
    ■Dumbbells come in many weights, shapes, and forms. This product has just one weight.
    ■You can get a harder workout with regular dumbbells
    ■Some of the marketing claims for this product seem to be stretching the truth.

    1 Missing Ingredient

    While working out is important, you can’t expect to get real results without a super-effective eating plan. No matter how good the Shake Weight will be for you, unless you eat right, you will never, ever be able to really lose arm fat and tone your body.

    Even if you do decide to buy the Shake Weight, please make sure to start eating healthy today. Click here for a free presentation on healthy nutrition for fat loss.

    In Conclusion

    I don’t believe that Shake Weight really works better than regular training. Yes, it looks like fun and it does cause the muscles to flex, but I don’t believe it will get you better results than doing regular workouts especially if you workout hard and regularly.

    However, it’s better than not exercising at all, that’s for sure you if you feel like having this around will get you to train more, go ahead and buy the Shake Weight.

    So, don’t put all your hope in this product. Use it only in addition to traditional strength exercises because it is still unclear how Dynamic Inertia really works in the long run.

    If you do decide to get this for yourself, make sure to also get a healthy eating plan which is focused on fat burning. I recommend The Diet Solution program by Isabel De Los Ri
    NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Meh, that's already been covered. The Free Flexor is superior due to 360 technology.

    Actually the vibrational technology has been scientifically proven to stimulate deep fiber exercise resistant neuro pathways that typically amplify in chromosomal density due to the gyrational pattern of molecular fusion that can ONLY be bought to fruition through the advanced shake weight technology!
  • i actually have liked it , I know that it doesnt work as well as the gym or anything like that . But I like it becuase it is a quick arm exercise that I can do daily that gives me something active to do. For someone who is in college I dont always have time to go to thegym. I actually just bought one after using my roommates for a while. I got results from it but i also think that something is betterthan nothing

    Something is better than nothing, I suppose. I still think you'd be better off with regular dumb bells or even resistance bands, though.

    Blarg....

    Rather spend the $$ on a 3DS or 2DS, it's a "nerd" shakeweight (has a pedometer built in for tracking steps).
